Future-Proof Parking Garage at the Olympic Stadium Amsterdam
The parking garage at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam—an iconic venue originally built for the 1928 Olympic Games and now a national monument and athletics track—has been equipped with a future-proof parking solution by IP Parking. This historic site plays a key role in the Netherlands' sporting and cultural heritage and hosts a wide range of events. The 850-space parking facility has recently been upgraded with a state-of-the-art parking system from IP Parking, designed to enhance traffic flow, simplify management, and ensure reliable service.
The Challenge
The Olympic Stadium sought a hybrid parking system capable of supporting both ticket-based and ticketless parking. The solution needed to optimize traffic flow while accommodating a diverse range of users, including Park & Ride (P+R) users, event visitors, regular guests, and subscription holders. Additionally, a user-friendly system for validating parking tickets was a key requirement.
The Solution
To improve traffic flow, the exit was relocated, and all entry and exit points were consolidated into a single central location, creating additional space within the garage. The four entry and exit lanes—including a dedicated P+R lane—are now equipped with the latest technology. While the system currently operates on a ticket-based model, it is fully prepared for a future transition to a ticketless or hybrid setup.
The system is integrated with a Booking Agent API, allowing visitors to reserve parking spaces in advance. Subscription holders benefit from license plate recognition, enabling seamless, automatic access, which further enhances traffic efficiency. Nearby businesses can easily validate their guests' parking tickets using the IP2 Recode system.
